It’s an ok language, probably better than most of the ones out there. However it’s severely crippled by the lack of general higher-order functions; blocks are nice syntax-wise but semantically arbitrary. Python, while lacking most of Ruby’s ergonomic syntax, surpasses it in that area. If you like Ruby, I’d suggest trying Lisp.

How I did it
